  • [XC60 Snow Chains] New insights?

    Hello, since the respective threads are already something, again the question, whether one of you already has experience with snow chains on the XC60 (FWD)? In particular the question, whether there are alternatives to the expensive Volvo chain? The PEWAG SMX 80 has been mentioned already, but has one of you tried it already? The place between tires and feather leg is actually not particularly large (finger thicker gap), but a narrow chain should still fit there!? I am Berliner and only occasionally in the S chnee (Austria), but with my old (VW Passat) often needed chains…

  • 205/55/17 on V70 D3 ?

    Hello to each other, now we drive for about 3,000km winter tires in the dimension 205/60/16. You certainly remember my request if useful etc. So I notice no negative difference to the 225er 17″. On the contrary, the car steers and drives itself “lighter”. Is certainly also due to our driving method, which I consider comfortable as a single stage. Without being a traffic obstacle. Also he does not follow track grooves anymore. Strangely on highway. Now I spin whether not 205/55/17 on the Summeralus should. Roll-off circumference identical, load capacity fits, price cheaper. Does any of you have experience with the tire size? I have to have them entered, sure. Just think about it in the blue….. Greetings Alexander

  • 🙂 !! NEW ELCHFAHRER ON BORD !!

    T5-KUSI is right! The new introduction belongs in the front! So again!!! Tach too, I am – the new one! Ride a V70 D5, BE, (EZ04, 112tkm) since the end of Aug/2007 and I am -mostly- on the road in the Rhein-Neckar-Raum. I have been reading here for a while and I find it quite comfortable here with you. You feel immediately so integrated. Where did you get this, that you are invited in your first post right now to organize the gourmet meeting in the R-N-K (Greetings to Thomas). But really don’t assume, that’s the thing for the premium members -If something goes wrong…… Speaking of Premium! So far, the moose service has been “premium” compared to the VAG group! But if I look at the handbrake explosion fred like this, then I get jammed – with my mileage and the year of construction! I will definitely write to my friend and make him aware of the thread. Let’s see if I can wait until the 120000 service. It’s never that long. I don’t have any irregularities until now. No grinding, sticking, crackling, squeaking. But as I said, it’s not that bad for me. I’ll report in the handbrake thread if I have news – from or from the brake!! Photos of the moose are available when it’s locked and brushed! At the moment it looks a bit sad because the coat is not so shiny and it’s quite wet. Greeting fausibbzich

  • 2 kg powder extinguisher – where to attach

    Hello guys, as it says in the title, I have to attach a 2kg powder extinguisher somewhere in the XC90, safe and yet relatively easily accessible. No, please no discussions, for which I need this, I don’t want to screw up my car with it, no fear. So please only serious advice, like own experiences etc. My idea would be, in the back area of the trunk, where left and right these “bookings” are located. The nozzles would remain almost completely free, but I have no idea. no idea if and if so how to attach the holder there. Or does someone have a completely different idea? Greetings Itaker

  • Fire extinguisher + laminated glass + hammer in XC90

    After which some of you reported about fire in the engine compartment, laminated glass in the Volvo and the burn death, I have been looking for a remedy in the last two days. The Originla Volvo fire extinguisher fits nicely under the passenger seat. It is not cheap, with installation and installation kit the best piece costs 160 Euro. A disc hammer with belt knife for 9.95 Euro is significantly cheaper, which fits nicely under it. So no panic, even if I hope the two things never for m I have to use so you can be useful to get someone else out of his car. Robert

  • Purchase aid V70 vs Subaru Forester

    Hello, my wife and I are looking for a used car, because our 97 A4 1.8T has already over 200000km down and we are absolutely not convinced by Audi, due to countless repairs. After a several weeks search we have come to the narrow selection of 2 very different vehicles. A Forester 2.0 Turbo built in 2002, 177hp with 50000km for 1500€ and a V70 D5 Premium built in 2002 163hp with 70000km for 1900€ We drive about 17000km a year, four-wheel would be The Volvo is a lot better equipped and we like it a little better than the Subaru. For the Subaru it speaks that it is less prone to repair. From the insurance classification both are almost the same, the V70 of course costs more tax for it consumes less. we would like to buy both cars, but for that the money is not enough and would also be meaningless. PS: Alternatively, we have already driven a Forester 2.0 converted to LPG and a Saab 9-5 3.0 TDi, of course, the 2.0 Forester did not offer the driving pass of the turbo, while the 3.0 diesel engines are supposed to be very vulnerable at Saab (we only drove after the test drive).

  • today in the Waschstrasse

    Hello together, today I was with the moose in the Waschstrasse – a station in the south of Düseldorf, which belongs to a large chain. So far I was always satisfied – good to very good washing result and free sucking. So today again – everything as normal until it went to the drying. There was a funny noise from behind that my wife and I could not directly interpret. After the actual Waschstrasse was then quickly clear: the tank flap was gone! So we claimed u And the good piece was found again – even surprisingly without scratches – but on the hinge something has broken. As not to be expected otherwise the operator resists to take over the damage (“if the flap is not locked …”!!!!). Since the friendly one had already closed today, I can only go there on Monday. Therefore the questions to you: – is this a “weak spot” on the V70 or has it happened to one of you before? – Can the hinge be replaced who the whole flap (including painting) has to be renewed? – what will be the fun that I can argue about with the operator? – Does anyone have any experience or tips on how system operators have behaved in other cases or how can you best get the guys to take care of the costs? Thank you Bernd :-))

  • Clutch exchange 🙂

    Moin 2 weeks ago my clutch came in with slipping through in the 5th gear at full throttle. Very uncool Especially when it was changed before “only” 130,000km (in a free workshop at the time). A “blow” while uncoupled when starting it had already been his 2 years in about but not always. So at Ft Albert ordered new clutch (and also the centring tool), clutch of Sachs incl. rear bearings. Siris were made 5 years ago and since everything was dry I did not order them, for need I would have had the The old clutch was so finished, the master in the self-help workshop said something like that he never experienced in 40 years of professional experience. Also the short running performance seemed very funny to him. So the old clutch was not a NoName from LUK. The pressure plate had a rough groove, looks like the rivets did this but they are compared to soft metal. The flywheel is fortunately ok, minimal unevenness but ok, I replace next time outlay also finished, a lot of play and also worn out.. Installation was a bit tricky due to the 30kg++ weight of the gearbox. The rest afterwards was “industry” and after 6 1/2 hours I was finished. The interesting is that both the first (original) clutch as well as the one from Luk went very hard (very hard pedal). The new goes “butter soft” as I did in other 8s. Greetings a tired (but happy) moose driver

  • volvo 850 2.5 no spark

    Moin moin, our Volvo just went out a few days ago and can’t be done any more. I switched the camshaft sensor for the first time. One time for one of our other 850 with 2.5 liters and one new one. The ignition cables were hit, so I changed them for the one from the other Volvo (they’re just new). I can only measure the ignition chairs between plus and minus. Between the ignition connection (the big one) and minus, mass and minus. plus (measured for safety) I can only measure an infinite large resistance. So I also exchanged the fuses for the ones from the other 850. I measured them before, everything ok. However, the one from the other had this 4-pin plug, which is connected again with two cables to the fuses. I removed the cables and connected the connectors from the vehicle there. Nevertheless, no ignition spark. The fuses get 11,xx Volt voltage, the old fusespu Hle didn’t have a 4-pin plug, but simply had two connectors (plus and minus). The vehicle has no immobilizer unlocked with this pen. I don’t know how exactly the ignition is “controlled” by the vehicle if the chair has only two connectors. I would be grateful for any help because I don’t want to buy ten pieces on suspicion and the error then disappears without knowing what it was.
